Trademe Dates

My mum rung me tonight purely to tell me that i should buy some awesome as drawers on trade me. And then convinced me that I should definitely have them in my life, and then proceeded to bid on them for me. The next 22 minutes included battling it out with 'poncho' who seemed determined to wait until they had 39 seconds to go before adding a measly dollar. My Mum tried to 'scare them off' off by going up to rounded figures. It must of worked as numerous countdowns and numerous page refreshes later, I'm now the proud owner of 2 matching wooden bedside drawers. They need a small touch up, but mum has also volunteered to send me up the needed bits and pieces to fix them up. And she (in true winning style) has agreed to pay half. Weird to realise that your mum is a bit of a trademe adrenaline junkie. Not a bad thing at all, it's a fun thing. And also really nice to still be taken care of by your parents, even when you've lived out of home for coming up 6 years.

So now I get to go pick them up and spend the next day rearranging my room and getting rid of my handpainted bright yellow and red drawers, which BTW, I still defend is a good colour choice, and no Dan, I would not have chosen different colours if I was to ever redo them!
